emic & etic
"A fault line runs through the disciplines concerning culture. On one side are disciplines like history or cultural anthropology, rooted in a historicist logic of seeking local regularities within a bounded milieu. On the other are disciplines like economics, driven by a functionalist logic of seeking transhistorical generalizations. Organizational behavior involves both of these logics.... Yet, the emic and etic perspectives each provide only half of the story. ... / ... [A] richer account of culture can result when an integrative explanatory framework arises." (Morris, et al., 1999, p. 790 [Richness in Models of Culture, ΒΆΒΆ1-2]).
Fantini defines ICC as "a complex [blend] of abilities that are necessary" for effective and appropriate communication with people who have diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds (2008, pp. 11-12).
